None should feel grateful or guilty. He made a concious decision /choice to share his life in public. I disagree 100% with the way its done but this not the place nor the time to discuss it
@@stepanok Ok, I want to respond to this, Not because I am upset, But because you're doing two things that I imagine you didn't intend to. I just want you to be aware of them... 1. Many of us habitually tell people how they should or shouldn't feel, with very good intentions ("don't cry, everything is ok" or "don't worry about that, everything will be fine") but we should not. Emotions are not the same as facts. Each of us feels our own emotions, and no one gets to dictate otherwise. For example, I feel some guilt here because I WANT the updates, and so I view. If these videos were getting no views, Dan would not be making updates for us. So I feel some responsibility for encouraging him to give us his precious time. That's an emotion I'm feeling, among a complicated mix of feelings. You can suggest how I can avoid feeling that way, but you can't just say I'm wrong. Feelings aren't like that. 2. You say you "100% disagree" with what Dan is doing ...and yet here you are, watching? But why, if you disagree so strongly? Do you only disagree with part of his actions? We can't tell. Because you make a strong statement of criticism, yet you refuse to explain what you're criticizing. You don't walk into a party and tell the host "I 100% disagree with what you chose to wear tonight, but this isn't the time and place to get into it" If it's the right time to criticize strongly, it's the right time to explain yourself. If it's not the right time to explain yourself, it's not the time to criticize. Done regularly to the same person, that second one is considered covert/emotional abuse, so it's important to recognize if we are doing that without realizing it.
melissa saint - I don’t as Dan loves making videos as he has said before. I do however feel totally lost for words when trying to think of the right thing to say. I do think some people make some ignorant comments without thinking properly, maybe that’s because they are ignorant, naive or young.....
He reminds me of the lovely Emily Hayward .. she went the gym a few days before she died ! Neither Dan nor Emily deteriorated completely before they passed which was a blessing .. although Emily was in better shape than Dan I think . Two wonderful young people taken too soon by the dreaded big ‘C’ .. rest in peace x
He died exactly ten days later. Went down SO fast at this point. What an awesome person he was. Just so ya know....he had one of the worst cancers possible. Growing to outside as well as inside. He was precious and amazing.
After he said that his liver is basically shutting down, I knew he would pass very soon. There is nothing that could have been done at this point. May he rest in peace.
I want your mum and your dad to adopt me. They are the best and we love them so. You sir had a very busy week last week give your mind and your body some much needed rest, gather your thoughts, write love letters to family members and scent it with your most best cologne. Just something for them to hold on too. You are so special Dan, and you have been blessed with knowledge of a love so few of us will ever find. Rest well my friend. Until tomorrow ponder on the wonders of life, for you are one of them.
Chocolate is the answer to everything, Mom! Eat those chocolates, Dan!!!!! Enjoy yourself, your new life, your bride, and your kitty. Much love and many prayers. Damn that cancer.
I am dreading the day we see a video that you’ve passed away. I’m literally scared for you. But you are such a wonderful man and tough skinned person to go through this with such dignity and strength. God bless you. With all my love from Chicago. Xoxoxo
yes he died a week after he made this video. very frightening. Do the NHS do whole body cancer checks? you would think they would want to do a scan on every person e.g. when they turn 30, just so they can catch things like this early?
@@mikesully110 Totally agree! It seems they rule out the least important issues first not the worst case scenario illnesses. Or they wait for things to get worse instead of preventing them! Huge lesson to always get things checked ASAP to catch it early! He had so much more to give and he handled everything with incredible humour, positivity and strength! It's scary how we never know how much time we have so we must make the most of everything x
I only found this because of recommendations 2 days ago and keep watching the videos over and over again i just can’t believe how positive he was such a strong person he tried to make the most terrible thing ever into something positive and he had a great personality to may he rest in peace
That's usually how it goes. When my dad died it was days. He went from laughing chillin. He even mowed the yard. Then dead in less than a week. When the cancer explodes it just explodes. The good part is it happens so fast you can't really register what is happening to you.
Ruhe1986 I don’t mean to be rude or anything at all, but the last week(s) of cancer are extremely painful and although it ends quick the patient absolutely registers almost anything unless given many many meds which usually doesn’t help at this point anymore anyway. My mom was an oncology nurse in Germany and told me about many of the patients she had and how they often suffered despite all the precautions etc taken by doctors and nurses. You can definitely register it, just not how fast it happens. It’s just like with how people say someone died of liver failure and if its this painless process... even though it’s painful and you basically turn into a liquid ballon: anyway... sorry again but yeah cancer sucks everything about it sucks and hurts
he was basically dying and still made a video about what is going on. and he even made one from his death bed saying good bye. what an awesome human being, gentle and polite until the end of his life. souls like his deserve to be embraced by the after life and being welcome - even though I dont believe something like this exists.
😢😢😢😢 , we love you Dan , big hug and rest at home with your beautiful family , prayers as always 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 , omg I wish I could help you so much I really do xx
Listening to him on this video and then the one he did in hospice on the 20th what a difference in his voice. He went downhill real quick in just two days. After such a hard long fight, I hope he's comfortable and happy where he is. R.I.P Dan, an unbelievable soul with humour. I actually found this channel a week before his death.
Never noticed your Dear Mom's dimples before, she is a Doll!! Such a Sweet, Sweet Lady!!! Thanks so much for the update. You are such a TROOPER!!! Keep looking UP!!!!
You’re so brave, Dan. I hope the time you have left is a painless and comfortable as it possibly can be. I hope more than anything that your lovely mum and dad, Becky and your extended family and friends all take strength from the amazing things you are sharing here. Your legacy and memory will live on 💖
Michael Langley I do too buddy. Nearly all of my family have passed from cancer. I honestly can’t wait for there to be a cure. People shouldn’t have to suffer like this.
Me clicking the "like" button is not an indication that I "like" the situation, but rather to acknowledge your efforts and promote the video. Prayers continue on your behalf...for you, and Becky , your mom and dad....HUGS
I'm praying for your serenity and peace of mind. i'm also praying for your wife and family. You are love and it is the most important in this circomstance. May God be with you through those dificult moments !! Thanks for your honesty and the share. It is true, we people, care about you. You are a Hero and you wil remain a Hero in my mind for al my life. From Montréal, Canada big big kiss to you and the family !!
My love and prayers surround you all dear Dan. I am so sorry you’ve been this ill. Thank you for the update. In my eyes you’re a legend! You’ve inspired me to live and love deeper. I love you bro! ❤️🙏🏽
Honestly Dan you have the most precious parents. Always driving you to and from the hospital. Many on this page have become attached to you and to your suffering. I pray the Lord will bless you with His Comfort and His Peace that surpasses all understanding. I know every person responding feels the same way, your amazing, even when your feeling miserable you have taken the time to update those whom you have never met, BUT one day shall indeed meet. The Lord bless you and your entire family, much love and kitty kissessss too, Lisa
Yukkibit Sibbits.... There is no need to swear..... if you don’t like reading other people’s comments then remove yourself from this site....or get a life....
Dear Dan, please know that there are thousands and thousands of people, many of them with advanced cancer themselves (me included) are praying for you. If we are cancer warriors you are our general. We will follow you wherever the battle takes you!
I know every person's battle with cancer is different but. my neighbour was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer and given just six weeks to live but 2 years later she is still with us and in remission. As a neighbour and a friend it was horrible to see her looking so frail during her battle with it. She has permanent side effects from chemo but said she's glad to be alive and i am too because she is such nice person. I thank the NHS, the nurses and her husband who cared for during her battle. Sadly some other people aren't so lucky but i know that one day every form of cancer will be cured. We just have to find it.
SO VERY GLAD YOU'RE FREE FROM THE HOSPITAL!!!! We can see how exhausted you are and I know you dont feel that amazing strength you have....but we all know its there! You've done an incredible job at proving the docs wrong so far and I know in my heart you'll do it again! I know the ultrasound showed that your liver is worse, but I also know first hand what an awesome organ it is. I want to tell you alittle bit about a close friend I had with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Like you she was a fighter and like you she constantly proved the docs wrong! I was her advocate being she didn't know alot about the medical system. The docs were basically writing her off from the get go and I told her not to listen. On one of her first ER visits, due to dehydration and fever, they automatically sent down hospice people and the doc told me in front of her that they could just keep her comfortable cause death was inevitable. WTF!! We all know death is inevitable it's part of being human! BUT only God knows when! So, I proceeded to rip the doc a new one and tell her there would be NO MORE talk like that and we didn't need hospice hovering! The chemo had caused this problem and it was just another obstacle to overcome! Long story short, she was out of the hospital in a couple days and ended up living for another year from the day they said that "death was inevitable." Her scans were always scarey bad, and there were days when we thought it was close to the end...however like you she kicked ass and proved all the docs wrong! What I'm trying to say is don't let all the "experts" and their test results take away your hope! There is always hope, and sometimes miracles! You keep fighting for the months that you want, and we will all keep praying, sending positive thoughts and energy to you!! We have all fallen in love with you and your family and we will be here for you no matter what!! AS ALWAYS SENDING LOTS OF LOVE AND HUUUGE HUGS TO YOU ALL!! 😙🤗❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you Jackie and Danielle! I've been in and out of hospitals for 30 years and have seen the magic of medicine and unfortunately the very dark side of medicine! I've also lost too many family and friends to cancer! It infuriates me when docs give up on a patient because of a diagnosis or test result! Not saying all doctors are bad, cause I've had many amazing, caring docs in my life. But when you're scared, hurting and losing hope and a doc only gives you the doom and gloom it's very easy to believe them. I'm praying Dan doesn't do that and keeps his beautiful fighting spirit!
You have been on my mind non-stop. Im sending so much love and positive energy your way. I wish you nothing but peace and happiness during these dark times. I wish more than anything in this world that I could just snap my fingers and everyone be cured of cancer. It is so awful and I hate that it even exists. I know my comment may get lost in the sea of others but should you read mine, please know that you are such a strong person with such a beautiful soul. I see it and so do many of your other subscribers. Much love to you, your wife, family and friends. I cant imagine the pain they must be feeling with you. ❤️
I agree; I'm constantly thinking about Dan! He is such a strong person and his wife is just as strong...I will continue to pray for both of them! Also, I can't forget your wonderful parents.
Your mother is such an amazing woman! I can see the sadness in her face but she is putting up a remarkable front. Many prayers for her, you and the rest of your family. Love from Montana 🇺🇸
I’m so sorry you’re not feeling well. I’m glad you don’t have to stay in the hospital. Consider yourself hugged. Love your mom. You know your body better than anyone hope the announcement you speak of is a long way of. Xoxoxoxo
❤️❤️❤️ thank you for letting us know, but please know you do what you need to do for you and don’t worry about updates. I do look for them, but you don’t owe them to anyone. Much love and prayers. 🌹
Damn, I feel so so bad for your situation, but kudos to you for making me smile at the beginning of your video. I hope there are a lot of videos to come, because you have a great gift of oratory, and I think you're sending people a message that a little giggle and a little sense of humor is sometimes the best medicine. Keep strong!
Time to rest, our brave friend in the UK. I hope you feel all the love and prayers we're sending your way. And also I send prayers and love to your lovely fellow redhead as I am, all the love and prayers in the world to your wife Becky, your Mum and Dad and your other family members. love to you, Mary and Bob Mulcrone USA
I never knew I could love and respect a family I’ve never met before so truly and deeply. Rarely does anyone get to witness such an obvious embodiment of “Love”, in all its forms and depths as you, your parents, and Bec are showing us now. Your sheer spirit humbles me, Dan. ❤️😥
You have moved mountains with your display of strength my friend. May your transition be peaceful and painless. I was once told by a monk that death is nothing more than a transition on our life's journey. He chuckled, it's only a bit more radical than puberty. I cannot wait to see you wherever we go next. Thank you for sharing with us. Both the beauty and tragedy of your story has changed many lives. That's our highest purpose I believe, and even if we only help one person.
I don't know if you're reading our comments Dan, but you can be sure: whenever, and wherever, you will go, you will not be forgotten. Hugs and love, from Italy
We are all, out here in the world, praying and sending love. Please make sure Becca knows the trolls are just that and don’t matter. She and your mum are angels here for you. 💙🙏🏻💙
As time goes on and this disease progresses further, it’s getting harder and harder to find the right words, but we want to say something, we feel so helpless! There are no words to adequately express what we are feeling as we see you getting weaker and weaker. Not only are you a true warrior, Dan, you are very kind and thoughtful man, with bags of personality and character. You are larger than life. I hope some day I will meet a man just like you. You are a unique and special person :) 💗
My heart is breaking for you, Dan. I’ve followed you for the longest time (as I did Emily), and I am absolutely dreading the day that your journey ends. Please know you’ve put a real and brave face on cancer, put the reality out there, and did it honestly. I pray you can find small pieces of joy in your time that you have left, and know that you made a difference in this world. GODSPEED.
You are SO loved Dan. Thank you for sharing your life with us and bringing awareness of the true story of shitty cancer. I wish we could all Collectively give you a massive hug. Instead I’m giving a massive “fuxk you” to cancer with my middle finger. It might destroy cells but believe me it doesn’t destroy a beautiful soul like yours will always be xx
You are the firs person I think about when I pick up my phone in the morning. I check on you first thing. I don’t know how I became so concerned with someone I’ve never met. I can count all the times I have commented on YT on one hand and they are all but one on your vlogs. I genuinely care about what is happening to you. It’s strange to me to care about someone I’ve never met. You & Rebecca & your family are in my thoughts. I send nothing but love and light your way.
Dan, have you seen the stars these days? The sky is so beautiful. But I bet you're busy seeing the brightest. And you're watching over her. Have a fantastic year Becky, and don't forget to be happy. You DESERVE to be happier than ever. And you will, I know. 💗
You are handling your journey like a true gentleman and with class. I will alway pray for you and your family. I feel so blessed to have been invited into your family of supporters. Sending you love and light and respect.
Your videos are so hard to watch, and yet you smile so bravely throughout them. I hate seeing young people having to deal with mortality. Yet you do so, with so much vibrance and courage, you don't even look sick at all. This brings a tear to my eye. Words cannot even express. My heart goes out to all of you guys.
Amy Laircey Dan's videos gives me hope. He shows us that the World doesn't have to be a dark and miserable place even in the worst of times. I hope I can live up to what he's taught me.
@@justcruzin7844 Although only Dan and his family have been told what to expect next, it's easy to make assumptions when he mentions going to speak to the hospice team, while previously he's only mentioned palliative care. Heartbreaking either way. I hope he knows just how much people care about him.
As a Cancer patient, l'm sorry for what you're going through, things are moving fast sadly, you are handling it so well, l love how you keep it real, this is not going to fix itself and l'm on your "Team Tom" Showing the people the reality of Cancer, it is what it is, l am so humbled by you sharing your battle, win or lose " that's life" You have left so many memories and l absolutely love your Humour 👍👍👍👍 that's so important. Thanks for helping open up the other side of Cancer.. 😘👍
I would never have believed that I could shed so many tears for someone that I'll never have the pleasure of meeting. Dan, your courage, positive attitude and willingness to share your journey is beyond amazing. There are many thousands of us, all over the world, who care so much about you. Sending you and your family much love from Vancouver, BC, Canada. ❤️❤️❤️
I love you all, and Dan, I hope the fluids help you feel a lot better. I know many people hate to hear the word hospice, but it is truly a blessing to have it as an option. They can offer loads of help for almost any type of situation. Thank you so much for the update. Becca, you're an angel, and you are constantly in my thoughts and prayers; I can't imagine the highs and lows you've been going through recently. Love and Peace from California.
I know we are very concerned Dan, I can't imagine what your friends, family and wife must be going through too. On the bottom of my heart Dan, I hope things improve mate. no human should be going through what you are, cancer is fucking horrible. I'm just glad you are not alone, you have thousands of people including family and friends who love you. We are looking out for you my friend.
Love you, Dan! If you CAN sleep, you’ll feel surprisingly better. Please know you are enveloped in love from all over the world - and outer space, of course. SO MUCH LOVE! You’ve impacted so many!
Video Owner = Don't wait ... avoid the hospital by all means whatsoever!!! See "Chris Beat Cancer" and "Rick Simpson", please please please! Chemo = Drug of Death, take any alternative but Chemo!!
How about instead of useless prayers, you donate a dollar to the prevent cancer foundation? At least that does something. Give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he will eat for a lifetime. Teach a man to pray, and he dies praying for fish
It must have been so hard for his parents to fake it till he died...smile, stay positive knowing their son will die in excruciating pain. I'm so sorry for everyone in these videos, this is so sad...
My mom had myelodysplasia for about 7 years. 5 years into it, they started hospice care and it was very helpful not only for her, but for the family. I am sorry you are having a hard time of it, but happy to see you are going home where you can hopefully be more comfortable and with your fam. Snuggle with your kitty a little, will make you feel a little better.
WE ARE FAMILY.. I NOW UNDERSTAND HOW I FEEL WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS..EVERY PERSON ON HERE TRULY FEELS YOUR JOURNEY AND LOVES YOU. YOU TAKE THE ULTIMATE JOURNEY OF BRAVERY AND SO DOES YOUR BEAUTIFUL FAMILY...AND WE STAND WITH YOU, FROM AFAR BUT OH SO CLOSE. MAY I SAY THAT YOUR MUM IS AN EXAMPLE TO US ALL..LOVE REALLY IS A MANY SPLENDID THING AND REALLY CAN MOVE MOUNTAINS..SENDING YOU ALL, ALL THE LOVE THAT I CAN. KEEP YOUR CHIN UP AS MUCH AS YOU CAN LITTLE SPARROW. XXXX
I wish I could go to England and simultaneously give you, Becca, and your beautiful Mum and big, warm hug!! Like many people watching you, we wish that we can take this devastating illness away. Continuous prayers your way my friends! Love, Monika from Arizona, USA
I'm so thankful you have li'l miss ginger by your side. Please only worry about the positives people say. Always praying for you, you two deserve it. Say Hi to mum for me!
I must be honest when I say that I dread "the announcement" I don't want it. You have fought so long and hard to survive it, yet, I have two family members that keep trying to end it. You inspire me with your strength and courage, Dan. You have taught me to savor each breath that I take. I am so sorry that you aren't feeling well. Rest well at home with your loving family and bride. Cuddling with your kitty is good for the soul. You are my hero, Dan. Love and light from Canada xox
Aunt Freda No one does, We are given the chance to properly say goodbye though, many of us found Tom through Emily Hayward and her passing so sudden and we didn't get this chance.
Disney Gamer I mean this with the best intentions, but his name is actually Dan Thomas (where the nickname comes from), I'm just so worried about him and feel like you would want to know❤️
Becky, thank you so much for being with Dan. He is a very lucky man to have you in his life especially at this incredible stressful and sad time in his life. I know it must be incredible hard for you dealing with the fact that your brand new husband is going to pass away soon. I too have terminal Cancer but unlike Dan I dont have someone like you in my life to care for me and to love me. Im a 53 year old man alone, lonely and dying of Cancer having to do everything on my own. Dan is a very lucky man to have you 24/7. Take care and thanks for all your caring, love and effort. :)
@@paigecarpenter2001 Thanks. All I have is my travelling around the world and riding my motorcycle. I know compared to many people I should be grateful for that and I am. However I cringe at the thought that I will be where Dan is probably within the next couple of years. All well that's life, for now I will live in the present moment, keep travelling and keep riding. It's just hard sometimes dealing with this alone. I mean I have a few friends but at the end of the day I am always alone. Anyway this channel is not about me. I'm happy Dan has someone to make it a little bit easier on him. Take care and thank you.
Your parents are absolute gems. Despite their hearts breaking they always manage to bring some levity to the situation. Amazing family you have there Dan. I see where you get it from.
So sorry, I don’t know what to say except, I wish I could take away your pain. I’m heart broken. Wish I could help. I’m praying for you and your family. Know that you are loved by many. USA ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🐈😔
Dan, finding your channel has changed my life. From the bottom of my heart thank you for sharing your journey with the world. I honestly believe it is going to make a great inpact on many lives for many years to come. Thank you for showing us how to LIVE even when facing death. Thank you for showing the impact cancer has on the family members as well. I wish you peace, happiness and nothing but love.
Dan your an inspiration to all of us. Please know I have you and your family in my prayers ....lots of positive thoughts and vibes your way! Sending hugs from 🇨🇦
I can't express just how sorry I am that you're going through all this. Your family has been so beautiful and supportive, just beautiful. I want you to know that your videos have genuinely touched me and impacted my life. Your videos here on TH-cam are not just some morbid curiosity for me, not just simply something I landed on at 2 AM and pressed "LIKE". You....you have changed me. You've changed my mindset on this disease, and on what's possible with a positive attitude. You've redefined "strength" for me. So has Becky and your mom and dad. You are ALL amazing people. From this day forward, whenever I've got the opportunity to donate to cancer research, my time watching your story will motivate me to dig a bit deeper. On my next birthday I will be 50. I've got my share of medical baggage too, though very different from yours. I want you to know your strength and outlook are indeed inspiring, and make me want to relish life all the more and redouble my efforts to take care of myself and watch my diet, exercise more, etc. I've come to feel like I know you quite well, though we've never met and you don't know me at all. Big hugs from across the Atlantic. I wish you and your family nothing but the best. And one last thing, I want to say THANK YOU. Thank you for making a difference in my mind, I will remember you and your lessons for the remainder of my life.
Hey Dan couldn't sleep last night kept seeing your lovely smile so I binged on your videos from day1your soooo funny.Hope you have a better night snuggled up with beccy & your baby cat sending Huge Hugs love you longtime ta ta for now 💛
I’m so sorry Dan. I know this is a very very hard time for you being sick sucks especially when you’re a newlywed! You have been so brave and you’ve made the very very best of a horrible situation. I can’t even imagine. When the time comes know that you are surrounded with love all over the world and when the time comes lay your head down and rest. We will be surrounding you and Becky and your Mom and Dad with Love
I'm a working novelist who is also a late-stage cancer survivor. I was watching these when Dan passed. I think about him weekly still. He was and is very much one of my "people. I've been writing a novel about cancer survival (the only time I've written about it and I'm a decade out), I've been forced to revisit some difficult situations and have been revisiting some of Dan's videos to refresh my own brain about how I felt when I was there. I love you, Dan. I miss you.
I hope you are feeling a little better today and getting the treatment you need, I saw your Twitter post and please do not pay attention or give anymore thought to those who have nothing better to say or do with their time. You have a beautiful wife, life and parents who are just amazeballs xxx
You are fucking awesome man. You are the bravest of men, you have a great persinality and I tip my hat to you and your family. Best wishes man my thoughts and prayers are with you and as much love as I can muster.
So heartbreaking Dan, but you are so blessed to be surrounded by AMAZING people who love you so very much and with you every step of the way, that is such a blessing, and you know how much we root for you and love hearing from you every single day to know you are still fighting the fight, bless you Dan, with you every step of the way. ❤️ Also, love to Becca, she’s an epic wife and deserves some praise after the crap day apparently you guys had yesterday (preferring to the IG story).
You are a wonderful human being with a wonderful, positive family. I almost cannot explain the way I feel. I feel so helpless and so angry that nothing can be done. You seem so brave. I don’t know how I would be. I see you on these videos I can’t imagine you not being here yet that is why you are filming this, to bring awareness and have us all go with you on your journey. I wish there was something I could do to stop this from happening. It doesn’t seem real, it doesn’t seem fair.
I hate that you're suffering, Dan. Make sure hospice gives you what you need and don't hesitate to use it. Nurse Poppy kitty will take good care of you too I'm sure. 💕
I love your Mums positive attitude so damn much - you were so serious and talking about deep stuff, and then your mum was just like ‘MARKS AND SPENCERS’ 💖
Does anyone else feel simultaneously grateful and guilty that he is taking the time to update us when he clearly feels awful and exhausted?
Therein lies the beauty of the man. He is behaving in a loving way to us in the midst of dying in many forms of agony. There are no words.
None should feel grateful or guilty. He made a concious decision /choice to share his life in public. I disagree 100% with the way its done but this not the place nor the time to discuss it
@@stepanok
Ok, I want to respond to this,
Not because I am upset,
But because you're doing two things that I imagine you didn't intend to.
I just want you to be aware of them...
1. Many of us habitually tell people how they should or shouldn't feel, with very good intentions ("don't cry, everything is ok" or "don't worry about that, everything will be fine") but we should not.
Emotions are not the same as facts. Each of us feels our own emotions, and no one gets to dictate otherwise. For example, I feel some guilt here because I WANT the updates, and so I view. If these videos were getting no views, Dan would not be making updates for us. So I feel some responsibility for encouraging him to give us his precious time. That's an emotion I'm feeling, among a complicated mix of feelings.
You can suggest how I can avoid feeling that way, but you can't just say I'm wrong. Feelings aren't like that.
2. You say you "100% disagree" with what Dan is doing ...and yet here you are, watching? But why, if you disagree so strongly? Do you only disagree with part of his actions?
We can't tell.
Because you make a strong statement of criticism, yet you refuse to explain what you're criticizing.
You don't walk into a party and tell the host "I 100% disagree with what you chose to wear tonight, but this isn't the time and place to get into it"
If it's the right time to criticize strongly, it's the right time to explain yourself. If it's not the right time to explain yourself, it's not the time to criticize.
Done regularly to the same person, that second one is considered covert/emotional abuse, so it's important to recognize if we are doing that without realizing it.
@@stepanok Quite right when you say this is not the right place to discuss it.
OR MENTION IT!!!!
melissa saint - I don’t as Dan loves making videos as he has said before.
I do however feel totally lost for words when trying to think of the right thing to say.
I do think some people make some ignorant comments without thinking properly, maybe that’s because they are ignorant, naive or young.....
It’s crazy to realize that he died 10 days after this vid was made. He was so strong, right until the end. What a fighter and an inspiration.
He reminds me of the lovely Emily Hayward .. she went the gym a few days before she died ! Neither Dan nor Emily deteriorated completely before they passed which was a blessing .. although Emily was in better shape than Dan I think . Two wonderful young people taken too soon by the dreaded big ‘C’ .. rest in peace x
People die feeling perfect. He had cancer ...on this video he looks awfull..whats that hard to relize?
@@user-hq4gk2dv9y I think they misused the word "realize" here...
@@user-hq4gk2dv9yAre you trying to cause arguments, get the hate out ya heart bro!!
Mom you are very strong! I have two sons and I can’t imagine watching them go thru this. Bless you.💗 🌹
Couldn't agree with this more, fans mum and whole family are amazing and so strong. X
He died exactly ten days later. Went down SO fast at this point. What an awesome person he was. Just so ya know....he had one of the worst cancers possible. Growing to outside as well as inside. He was precious and amazing.
Truly an awesome guy
What type was it? Rip brother ❤️
After he said that his liver is basically shutting down, I knew he would pass very soon. There is nothing that could have been done at this point. May he rest in peace.
Still watching Dan your looking tied hear didnt realise you where so close to leaving us RIP LOVELY GUY 18 APRIL 2020 XXX
At least he didnt had to watch how the world getting shutting down, thank God
@@pat_mueller the world reopened. What a stupid self serving comment.
@@pat_mueller wtf? wow
@@pat_mueller Yeah because that would’ve been the real tragedy, huh?
smdh
I want your mum and your dad to adopt me. They are the best and we love them so. You sir had a very busy week last week give your mind and your body some much needed rest, gather your thoughts, write love letters to family members and scent it with your most best cologne. Just something for them to hold on too. You are so special Dan, and you have been blessed with knowledge of a love so few of us will ever find. Rest well my friend. Until tomorrow ponder on the wonders of life, for you are one of them.
Very well said
Your last sentence had me in tears. Lovely😊
Thank you Lisa for putting into words what we all feel....it's beautiful ❤
That was beautiful ♥️
Wow Lisa thats so beautiful said
Good old Mum, what a diamond....you are so lucky to have the family you have...rest well
Chocolate is the answer to everything, Mom! Eat those chocolates, Dan!!!!! Enjoy yourself, your new life, your bride, and your kitty. Much love and many prayers. Damn that cancer.
Dan's mother is absolutely amazing.
It's so eerie to think that 10 days from this video he will have passed away.
Friends from California praying for you everyday! Keep smiling, you have the entire world praying for you!! Rice crispy treats are the best!!
Awe sweet man. You are SO loved. I'm holding on with you Dan, we've all got your back...don't ever forget that you are a superhero.
He really is such a fighter.
WE need to stay strong for him, he wouldn't want it any other way!
How? Why is there so much hyped with this guy?
@@sudipdaw4572 If you had followed him and grew to love him as we did..you would understand my friend.
I am dreading the day we see a video that you’ve passed away. I’m literally scared for you. But you are such a wonderful man and tough skinned person to go through this with such dignity and strength. God bless you. With all my love from Chicago. Xoxoxo
Same here.
I'm afraid too.
I don't know why you people feel the need to write the first part of what you did.
Anyone else still comes here? Such an inspiration.
yes he died a week after he made this video. very frightening. Do the NHS do whole body cancer checks? you would think they would want to do a scan on every person e.g. when they turn 30, just so they can catch things like this early?
@@mikesully110 Totally agree! It seems they rule out the least important issues first not the worst case scenario illnesses. Or they wait for things to get worse instead of preventing them! Huge lesson to always get things checked ASAP to catch it early! He had so much more to give and he handled everything with incredible humour, positivity and strength! It's scary how we never know how much time we have so we must make the most of everything x
An absolute inspiration ❤️
I only found this because of recommendations 2 days ago and keep watching the videos over and over again i just can’t believe how positive he was such a strong person he tried to make the most terrible thing ever into something positive and he had a great personality to may he rest in peace
I was just recommended this while looking for Olympics info. Now I am watching the videos. How sad and how brave of this gentleman.
Crazy how fast he deteriorated after this point
That's usually how it goes. When my dad died it was days. He went from laughing chillin. He even mowed the yard. Then dead in less than a week. When the cancer explodes it just explodes. The good part is it happens so fast you can't really register what is happening to you.
Atleast Dan is free I can’t wait to join him when I can.
@MrGoodkat Thank you, and I'm sorry about both of your parents. I cherish my mom with my life now because I know how fleeting it is
Adam D: yep. It was just his time, meant to be.
Ruhe1986 I don’t mean to be rude or anything at all, but the last week(s) of cancer are extremely painful and although it ends quick the patient absolutely registers almost anything unless given many many meds which usually doesn’t help at this point anymore anyway. My mom was an oncology nurse in Germany and told me about many of the patients she had and how they often suffered despite all the precautions etc taken by doctors and nurses. You can definitely register it, just not how fast it happens. It’s just like with how people say someone died of liver failure and if its this painless process... even though it’s painful and you basically turn into a liquid ballon: anyway... sorry again but yeah cancer sucks everything about it sucks and hurts
Rest Rest Rest!....Cuddles and Kisses with Becs and Poppy....Sending you much love and prayers Dan.....We are all rooting for you mate..xx GOD BLESS
We all have our arms around you, giving you loving hugs!
Tell your mum to keep smiling . Very hard for your mum to
coin finders It’s probably hardest on the moms when these things happen.
Such an awesome supported family....Blessed
Absolutely my love xx
We are all virtually holding your hand Dan, we all love you so much. Get some rest. ♥️⭐️💐
bless your heart and your moms
he was basically dying and still made a video about what is going on. and he even made one from his death bed saying good bye. what an awesome human being, gentle and polite until the end of his life. souls like his deserve to be embraced by the after life and being welcome - even though I dont believe something like this exists.
Thank you for taking your precious time to let us know how you are feeling.
😢😢😢😢 , we love you Dan , big hug and rest at home with your beautiful family , prayers as always 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 , omg I wish I could help you so much I really do xx
You are a strong and a good person, Dan! Stay strong and keep fighting! I hope you get better!
Listening to him on this video and then the one he did in hospice on the 20th what a difference in his voice. He went downhill real quick in just two days. After such a hard long fight, I hope he's comfortable and happy where he is. R.I.P Dan, an unbelievable soul with humour. I actually found this channel a week before his death.
this was a man who loved life,while many of us love to drown in our self pity, this guy lived to the fullest till his last seconds.
I've grown to know you all and feel like you are all family and we are all in this together. Love you all so much.
Never noticed your Dear Mom's dimples before, she is a Doll!! Such a Sweet, Sweet Lady!!!
Thanks so much for the update. You are such a TROOPER!!!
Keep looking UP!!!!
I wish I could get some of my home made chicken and noodle soup to you. I know it would make you feel better. Ba bye.....ta ta
You’re so brave, Dan. I hope the time you have left is a painless and comfortable as it possibly can be. I hope more than anything that your lovely mum and dad, Becky and your extended family and friends all take strength from the amazing things you are sharing here. Your legacy and memory will live on 💖
I sometimes ask myself why did it happen to man like Dan who is such a nice person and infact anyone?
Michael Langley I do too buddy. Nearly all of my family have passed from cancer. I honestly can’t wait for there to be a cure. People shouldn’t have to suffer like this.
This one got me. I don't want any announcement other than a video notification😢 I hope you are home cuddling with Becca and Poppy. Love you long time❤
Me clicking the "like" button is not an indication that I "like" the situation, but rather to acknowledge your efforts and promote the video. Prayers continue on your behalf...for you, and Becky , your mom and dad....HUGS
I'm praying for your serenity and peace of mind. i'm also praying for your wife and family. You are love and it is the most important in this circomstance. May God be with you through those dificult moments !! Thanks for your honesty and the share. It is true, we people, care about you. You are a Hero and you wil remain a Hero in my mind for al my life. From Montréal, Canada big big kiss to you and the family !!
Very Nice, Positive Comment! 👍🏻😊 Born and raised in Montreal, Canada! US Citizen now for many, many years! 🇨🇦🇺🇸⛱
God doesn't exist, you are rude. Keep your fantasies to yourself. Do not impose on others.
Beautiful thank you.
My love and prayers surround you all dear Dan. I am so sorry you’ve been this ill. Thank you for the update. In my eyes you’re a legend! You’ve inspired me to live and love deeper. I love you bro! ❤️🙏🏽
Beautifully said Cynthia 🙏 xxxxxxxxxx
Lorna Maria 🙏🏽
Honestly Dan you have the most precious parents. Always driving you to and from the hospital. Many on this page have become attached to you and to your suffering. I pray the Lord will bless you with His Comfort and His Peace that surpasses all understanding. I know every person responding feels the same way, your amazing, even when your feeling miserable you have taken the time to update those whom you have never met, BUT one day shall indeed meet. The Lord bless you and your entire family, much love and kitty kissessss too, Lisa
Yukkibit Sibbits.... There is no need to swear..... if you don’t like reading other people’s comments then remove yourself from this site....or get a life....
Amen Lisa xx
Dear Dan, please know that there are thousands and thousands of people, many of them with advanced cancer themselves (me included) are praying for you. If we are cancer warriors you are our general. We will follow you wherever the battle takes you!
wow, such meaningful words. may you all find peace and comfort. I will pray for all of you who are fighting. I wish I could do more.
What a lovely thing to say. He is truly amazing. I wish you well in your cancer journey. May God bless you all x
That was a lovely thing to say. Prayers and very best wishes to you!!
Wish the best for you too! 💕💞💕💞💞💛💛💛
LORD HAW HAW you’re a truly lost soul 🤮
I know every person's battle with cancer is different but. my neighbour was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer and given just six weeks to live but 2 years later she is still with us and in remission. As a neighbour and a friend it was horrible to see her looking so frail during her battle with it. She has permanent side effects from chemo but said she's glad to be alive and i am too because she is such nice person. I thank the NHS, the nurses and her husband who cared for during her battle. Sadly some other people aren't so lucky but i know that one day every form of cancer will be cured. We just have to find it.
SO VERY GLAD YOU'RE FREE FROM THE HOSPITAL!!!! We can see how exhausted you are and I know you dont feel that amazing strength you have....but we all know its there! You've done an incredible job at proving the docs wrong so far and I know in my heart you'll do it again! I know the ultrasound showed that your liver is worse, but I also know first hand what an awesome organ it is. I want to tell you alittle bit about a close friend I had with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Like you she was a fighter and like you she constantly proved the docs wrong! I was her advocate being she didn't know alot about the medical system. The docs were basically writing her off from the get go and I told her not to listen. On one of her first ER visits, due to dehydration and fever, they automatically sent down hospice people and the doc told me in front of her that they could just keep her comfortable cause death was inevitable. WTF!! We all know death is inevitable it's part of being human! BUT only God knows when! So, I proceeded to rip the doc a new one and tell her there would be NO MORE talk like that and we didn't need hospice hovering! The chemo had caused this problem and it was just another obstacle to overcome! Long story short, she was out of the hospital in a couple days and ended up living for another year from the day they said that "death was inevitable." Her scans were always scarey bad, and there were days when we thought it was close to the end...however like you she kicked ass and proved all the docs wrong! What I'm trying to say is don't let all the "experts" and their test results take away your hope! There is always hope, and sometimes miracles! You keep fighting for the months that you want, and we will all keep praying, sending positive thoughts and energy to you!! We have all fallen in love with you and your family and we will be here for you no matter what!! AS ALWAYS SENDING LOTS OF LOVE AND HUUUGE HUGS TO YOU ALL!! 😙🤗❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Amy T what a beautiful message ❤️
It sure is a beautiful message, and I really hope Dan sees this comment.
Thank you Jackie and Danielle! I've been in and out of hospitals for 30 years and have seen the magic of medicine and unfortunately the very dark side of medicine! I've also lost too many family and friends to cancer! It infuriates me when docs give up on a patient because of a diagnosis or test result! Not saying all doctors are bad, cause I've had many amazing, caring docs in my life. But when you're scared, hurting and losing hope and a doc only gives you the doom and gloom it's very easy to believe them. I'm praying Dan doesn't do that and keeps his beautiful fighting spirit!
You have been on my mind non-stop. Im sending so much love and positive energy your way. I wish you nothing but peace and happiness during these dark times. I wish more than anything in this world that I could just snap my fingers and everyone be cured of cancer. It is so awful and I hate that it even exists. I know my comment may get lost in the sea of others but should you read mine, please know that you are such a strong person with such a beautiful soul. I see it and so do many of your other subscribers. Much love to you, your wife, family and friends. I cant imagine the pain they must be feeling with you. ❤️
I agree; I'm constantly thinking about Dan! He is such a strong person and his wife is just as strong...I will continue to pray for both of them! Also, I can't forget your wonderful parents.
Legend, hero, and that goes for your family too, keep going mate
I could not have said it any better
Wonderful way to describe him.
Stephen Nicholson In true Freddy fashion..there can be only one Dan Thomas! 💕

I’m so sorry you’re not feeling well. I’m glad you don’t have to stay in the hospital. Consider yourself hugged. Love your mom. You know your body better than anyone hope the announcement you speak of is a long way of. Xoxoxoxo
❤️❤️❤️ thank you for letting us know, but please know you do what you need to do for you and don’t worry about updates. I do look for them, but you don’t owe them to anyone. Much love and prayers. 🌹
Damn, I feel so so bad for your situation, but kudos to you for making me smile at the beginning of your video. I hope there are a lot of videos to come, because you have a great gift of oratory, and I think you're sending people a message that a little giggle and a little sense of humor is sometimes the best medicine. Keep strong!
Time to rest, our brave friend in the UK. I hope you feel all the love and prayers we're sending your way. And also I send prayers and love to your lovely fellow redhead as I am, all the love and prayers in the world to your wife Becky, your Mum and Dad and your other family members. love to you, Mary and Bob Mulcrone USA
I never knew I could love and respect a family I’ve never met before so truly and deeply. Rarely does anyone get to witness such an obvious embodiment of “Love”, in all its forms and depths as you, your parents, and Bec are showing us now. Your sheer spirit humbles me, Dan. ❤️😥
You have moved mountains with your display of strength my friend. May your transition be peaceful and painless. I was once told by a monk that death is nothing more than a transition on our life's journey. He chuckled, it's only a bit more radical than puberty. I cannot wait to see you wherever we go next. Thank you for sharing with us. Both the beauty and tragedy of your story has changed many lives. That's our highest purpose I believe, and even if we only help one person.
You said that so beautiful! He will never be forgotten.

I don't know if you're reading our comments Dan, but you can be sure: whenever, and wherever, you will go, you will not be forgotten. Hugs and love, from Italy
He's not 'going' anywhere!
Harriet this isn’t the place to debate. Let people wish Dan and family love and leave your beliefs out of it.
Such lovely words. Dan has so much support 😊
@@aliholm1957 I think she meant he's not going to die on us, I doubt it was about "is there an afterlife" etc..
RIP
We are all, out here in the world, praying and sending love. Please make sure Becca knows the trolls are just that and don’t matter. She and your mum are angels here for you. 💙🙏🏻💙
As time goes on and this disease progresses further, it’s getting harder and harder to find the right words, but we want to say something, we feel so helpless! There are no words to adequately express what we are feeling as we see you getting weaker and weaker. Not only are you a true warrior, Dan, you are very kind and thoughtful man, with bags of personality and character. You are larger than life. I hope some day I will meet a man just like you. You are a unique and special person :) 💗
Very well said
Tammy Lee, Thank you :)
My heart is breaking for you, Dan. I’ve followed you for the longest time (as I did Emily), and I am absolutely dreading the day that your journey ends. Please know you’ve put a real and brave face on cancer, put the reality out there, and did it honestly. I pray you can find small pieces of joy in your time that you have left, and know that you made a difference in this world. GODSPEED.
You are SO loved Dan. Thank you for sharing your life with us and bringing awareness of the true story of shitty cancer. I wish we could all
Collectively give you a massive hug. Instead I’m giving a massive “fuxk you” to cancer with my middle finger. It might destroy cells but believe me it doesn’t destroy a beautiful soul like yours will always be xx
God bless brother. You've helped me learn to appreciate every moment a little bit more. I hope your symptoms ease up again soon! Cheers from Canada
You and your family are an inspiration to us. Your mom is an angel. As a parent I cannot imagine what she is going though.
Lynette Ship she's the mother of probably the most strongest man in the World. She's got a lot to be proud of.
I love mum! I see where you get your spirit. 😊🌹 Rest now...ta for now.
You are the firs person I think about when I pick up my phone in the morning. I check on you first thing. I don’t know how I became so concerned with someone I’ve never met. I can count all the times I have commented on YT on one hand and they are all but one on your vlogs. I genuinely care about what is happening to you. It’s strange to me to care about someone I’ve never met. You & Rebecca & your family are in my thoughts. I send nothing but love and light your way.
Same here.....you said that so beautifully. I spend a lot of the day praying for him and his family.
Same here. Well said!
Same here. You guys are on my mind often. All the very best to you and your family
I’m not much into prayer, but he is always in my thoughts.
Same! 🙏🏼💛
Dan, have you seen the stars these days? The sky is so beautiful. But I bet you're busy seeing the brightest. And you're watching over her. Have a fantastic year Becky, and don't forget to be happy. You DESERVE to be happier than ever. And you will, I know. 💗
🥺😞💙
You make my days so much happier. ❤️❤️ you’re absolutely my favorite person!
Glad you have been discharged hope you have a better day tomorrow Dan and are able to rest properly. Love to you & Becky. I love your Mum❤️xxx
Much love and prayers for peace and no pain...and time. 💕🙏🏼💜. Thanks for the update. You are on a lot of people’s minds always, just now that.
Every time he says the word ‘hospice’ my heart drops😢
You are handling your journey like a true gentleman and with class. I will alway pray for you and your family. I feel so blessed to have been invited into your family of supporters.
Sending you love and light and respect.
Sending you all the best wishes in the world Dan, thinking of you and your family and keeping you all in my prayers.
Your videos are so hard to watch, and yet you smile so bravely throughout them. I hate seeing young people having to deal with mortality. Yet you do so, with so much vibrance and courage, you don't even look sick at all. This brings a tear to my eye. Words cannot even express. My heart goes out to all of you guys.
Amy Laircey Dan's videos gives me hope. He shows us that the World doesn't have to be a dark and miserable place even in the worst of times. I hope I can live up to what he's taught me.
He's made me realize that i shouldn't take anything for granted
I'm sorry but if you haven't seen his other videos this guy clearly looks very ill

Not giving him much hope are you. He's going home from the hospital, not to his death. 👎🏻
JusT CruziN it’s no secret he doesn’t have much time left. He’s aware.
@@justcruzin7844 Although only Dan and his family have been told what to expect next, it's easy to make assumptions when he mentions going to speak to the hospice team, while previously he's only mentioned palliative care. Heartbreaking either way. I hope he knows just how much people care about him.
As a Cancer patient, l'm sorry for what you're going through, things are moving fast sadly, you are handling it so well, l love how you keep it real, this is not going to fix itself and l'm on your "Team Tom" Showing the people the reality of Cancer, it is what it is, l am so humbled by you sharing your battle, win or lose " that's life" You have left so many memories and l absolutely love your Humour 👍👍👍👍 that's so important. Thanks for helping open up the other side of Cancer.. 😘👍
I would never have believed that I could shed so many tears for someone that I'll never have the pleasure of meeting. Dan, your courage, positive attitude and willingness to share your journey is beyond amazing. There are many thousands of us, all over the world, who care so much about you. Sending you and your family much love from Vancouver, BC, Canada. ❤️❤️❤️
I love you all, and Dan, I hope the fluids help you feel a lot better. I know many people hate to hear the word hospice, but it is truly a blessing to have it as an option. They can offer loads of help for almost any type of situation. Thank you so much for the update.
Becca, you're an angel, and you are constantly in my thoughts and prayers; I can't imagine the highs and lows you've been going through recently. Love and Peace from California.
I know we are very concerned Dan, I can't imagine what your friends, family and wife must be going through too. On the bottom of my heart Dan, I hope things improve mate. no human should be going through what you are, cancer is fucking horrible. I'm just glad you are not alone, you have thousands of people including family and friends who love you. We are looking out for you my friend.
Love you, Dan! If you CAN sleep, you’ll feel surprisingly better. Please know you are enveloped in love from all over the world - and outer space, of course. SO MUCH LOVE! You’ve impacted so many!
Keep strong, brotha' ~ you have me and my wife's prayers from Texas
Video Owner = Don't wait ... avoid the hospital by all means whatsoever!!! See "Chris Beat Cancer" and "Rick Simpson", please please please! Chemo = Drug of Death, take any alternative but Chemo!!
Im sure Dan is fucking sick of prayers by now.
How about instead of useless prayers, you donate a dollar to the prevent cancer foundation? At least that does something.
Give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he will eat for a lifetime. Teach a man to pray, and he dies praying for fish
Tyler Isabell love that! Haha
Next time, try another god. Yours obviously did not help
It must have been so hard for his parents to fake it till he died...smile, stay positive knowing their son will die in excruciating pain. I'm so sorry for everyone in these videos, this is so sad...
@Orhan Afsar I'm a doctor (endocrinologist...still) and I'm a cancer survivor. Trust me, it's all pain till the end.
So sorry you have to go through all of this Dan. Praying for you and the family. Love and hugs!!
You’re a legend Dan! Thanks for touching all of our hearts.
My mom had myelodysplasia for about 7 years. 5 years into it, they started hospice care and it was very helpful not only for her, but for the family. I am sorry you are having a hard time of it, but happy to see you are going home where you can hopefully be more comfortable and with your fam. Snuggle with your kitty a little, will make you feel a little better.

I'm so thankful you have li'l miss ginger by your side. Please only worry about the positives people say. Always praying for you, you two deserve it. Say Hi to mum for me!
I must be honest when I say that I dread "the announcement" I don't want it. You have fought so long and hard to survive it, yet, I have two family members that keep trying to end it. You inspire me with your strength and courage, Dan. You have taught me to savor each breath that I take. I am so sorry that you aren't feeling well. Rest well at home with your loving family and bride. Cuddling with your kitty is good for the soul. You are my hero, Dan. Love and light from Canada xox
Aunt Freda No one does, We are given the chance to properly say goodbye though, many of us found Tom through Emily Hayward and her passing so sudden and we didn't get this chance.
I really hope that he can beat this and the chances of that are very slim but he is such a fighter. Life is just far too short.
Michael Langley I know. I wish there was a fair percent instead of none in his favor 😞💔

My heart is breaking that things are so incredibly hard for you. Prayers and my love to you, your Mrs. and your mum and dad.
Becky, thank you so much for being with Dan. He is a very lucky man to have you in his life especially at this incredible stressful and sad time in his life. I know it must be incredible hard for you dealing with the fact that your brand new husband is going to pass away soon. I too have terminal Cancer but unlike Dan I dont have someone like you in my life to care for me and to love me. Im a 53 year old man alone, lonely and dying of Cancer having to do everything on my own. Dan is a very lucky man to have you 24/7. Take care and thanks for all your caring, love and effort. :)

@@paigecarpenter2001 Thanks. All I have is my travelling around the world and riding my motorcycle. I know compared to many people I should be grateful for that and I am. However I cringe at the thought that I will be where Dan is probably within the next couple of years. All well that's life, for now I will live in the present moment, keep travelling and keep riding. It's just hard sometimes dealing with this alone. I mean I have a few friends but at the end of the day I am always alone. Anyway this channel is not about me. I'm happy Dan has someone to make it a little bit easier on him. Take care and thank you.
@@Edward-ko9pn how are you doing?
Your parents are absolute gems. Despite their hearts breaking they always manage to bring some levity to the situation. Amazing family you have there Dan. I see where you get it from.
I feel so badly for all of you, Dan. Still praying for a miracle.
So sorry, I don’t know what to say except, I wish I could take away your pain. I’m heart broken. Wish I could help. I’m praying for you and your family. Know that you are loved by many. USA ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🐈😔
0.57 mn just a broken heart. 😦
Dan, finding your channel has changed my life. From the bottom of my heart thank you for sharing your journey with the world. I honestly believe it is going to make a great inpact on many lives for many years to come. Thank you for showing us how to LIVE even when facing death. Thank you for showing the impact cancer has on the family members as well. I wish you peace, happiness and nothing but love.
Dan your an inspiration to all of us. Please know I have you and your family in my prayers ....lots of positive thoughts and vibes your way! Sending hugs from 🇨🇦
I can't express just how sorry I am that you're going through all this. Your family has been so beautiful and supportive, just beautiful. I want you to know that your videos have genuinely touched me and impacted my life. Your videos here on TH-cam are not just some morbid curiosity for me, not just simply something I landed on at 2 AM and pressed "LIKE". You....you have changed me. You've changed my mindset on this disease, and on what's possible with a positive attitude. You've redefined "strength" for me. So has Becky and your mom and dad. You are ALL amazing people. From this day forward, whenever I've got the opportunity to donate to cancer research, my time watching your story will motivate me to dig a bit deeper. On my next birthday I will be 50. I've got my share of medical baggage too, though very different from yours. I want you to know your strength and outlook are indeed inspiring, and make me want to relish life all the more and redouble my efforts to take care of myself and watch my diet, exercise more, etc. I've come to feel like I know you quite well, though we've never met and you don't know me at all. Big hugs from across the Atlantic. I wish you and your family nothing but the best. And one last thing, I want to say THANK YOU. Thank you for making a difference in my mind, I will remember you and your lessons for the remainder of my life.
Hey Dan couldn't sleep last night kept seeing your lovely smile so I binged on your videos from day1your soooo funny.Hope you have a better night snuggled up with beccy & your baby cat sending Huge Hugs love you longtime ta ta for now 💛
I’m so sorry Dan. I know this is a very very hard time for you being sick sucks especially when you’re a newlywed! You have been so brave and you’ve made the very very best of a horrible situation. I can’t even imagine. When the time comes know that you are surrounded with love all over the world and when the time comes lay your head down and rest. We will be surrounding you and Becky and your Mom and Dad with Love
I'm a working novelist who is also a late-stage cancer survivor. I was watching these when Dan passed. I think about him weekly still. He was and is very much one of my "people. I've been writing a novel about cancer survival (the only time I've written about it and I'm a decade out), I've been forced to revisit some difficult situations and have been revisiting some of Dan's videos to refresh my own brain about how I felt when I was there. I love you, Dan. I miss you.
Do you mind sharing the novel? I'm a bit in the same boat and reading this comment made me feel not so alone
I hope you are feeling a little better today and getting the treatment you need, I saw your Twitter post and please do not pay attention or give anymore thought to those who have nothing better to say or do with their time. You have a beautiful wife, life and parents who are just amazeballs xxx
You are fucking awesome man. You are the bravest of men, you have a great persinality and I tip my hat to you and your family. Best wishes man my thoughts and prayers are with you and as much love as I can muster.
So heartbreaking Dan, but you are so blessed to be surrounded by AMAZING people who love you so very much and with you every step of the way, that is such a blessing, and you know how much we root for you and love hearing from you every single day to know you are still fighting the fight, bless you Dan, with you every step of the way. ❤️ Also, love to Becca, she’s an epic wife and deserves some praise after the crap day apparently you guys had yesterday (preferring to the IG story).
This shit makes me cry. Ive grown to care about you all so much. Wishing you the best. Much love!
Strong Mum, strong son. Much love
You are a wonderful human being with a wonderful, positive family. I almost cannot explain the way I feel. I feel so helpless and so angry that nothing can be done. You seem so brave. I don’t know how I would be. I see you on these videos I can’t imagine you not being here yet that is why you are filming this, to bring awareness and have us all go with you on your journey. I wish there was something I could do to stop this from happening. It doesn’t seem real, it doesn’t seem fair.
I hate that you're suffering, Dan. Make sure hospice gives you what you need and don't hesitate to use it. Nurse Poppy kitty will take good care of you too I'm sure. 💕
Hope all goes well man i’m really sorry it’s getting this bad.
I’m so sorry you are so unwell. I wish you comfort and relief from the pain.
You’re so strong that it actually
Blows my mind ❤️
I love your Mums positive attitude so damn much - you were so serious and talking about deep stuff, and then your mum was just like ‘MARKS AND SPENCERS’
